Yup. The famous Berlin Express chasing a 109 under the Eiffel Tower. When I built that 1/32 scale Berlin Express Mustang, it did mention it in the instruction guide bio. Crazy and incredible…

What scale are those clear Mustangs and 109s? I/144 scale?

If so, it would be an out of scale diorama since the Eiffel Tower is 1/650 scale

The planes are 1/700 :whiteflag: and the Eiffel tower is 1/650 so it would probably work.

Yeah, those would work. Never knew they come in 1/700 scale. The smallest I’ve heard and seen are 1/144 scale. Looking forward to seeing you recreate that dogfight.

Neat project!

You’ve never built a 1/700 or 1/720 aircraft carrier? They make all sorts of aircraft in those tiny scales.
